1) Words of the Week: at, look (green)

2) Weekly Word Family: _ot (example: pot, hot, dot, and not. The initial sound is referred to as an onset. The word family is referred to as a rhyme. Using this vocabulary will help in identifying the parts of the word and building familiarity with how to choose rhyming words.)

3) Please work with both beginning sounds and segmenting words at home.
Beginning Sound Practice:
Kindergarten Skill Standard: RF.K.2d Student will be able to isolate and pronounce the initial sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant or CVC) words. This does not include words with the ending sounds /l/, /r/, or /x/.

Below I have included videos that will be viewed with our class, however, viewing it home will strengthen your student's confidence and reinforce his or her exposure! Seeing these on a daily or at least 3-4 times throughout the week would be an excellent choice.

More, Fewer, and Same/ Equal
Here are some links to practice and work on identifying groups with fewer or more or the same number of items. We will also be talking about "Zero the Hero" and it's constant value as well! You may use kitchen utensils at home, toys, clothing (socks, shoes, hair ties, etc.) to expand this practice to real life application!

Alphabet Review:




Seasons! We have been spending the week activating our brains to begin our investigation of our seasons (fall, winter, spring, & summer)! The leaves your students have collected will be used for leaf rubbings, observation drawing/writing, and applying our learned knowledge to real life! Thank you! This is such a fun unit to be exploring! Below is a song that we have been listening to and singing in the classroom to help us remember them! I hope you have a great time with this at home!
